Listen to poem:

Hush, my darling, don’t you cry. I know you’ve had it hard. Life is far from fair and never turns out how we plan. One minute everything is perfect, the next we’ve got it all taken away; and when we least expect it, our world crumbles before our eyes. Our life is make believe, nothing is for real. What we think we hold in our hands is illusion that vanishes into thin air. Time passes. Life goes on while skies and mountains hold the truth. We are here but for an instant, the magic is in their majesty. Be strong and rise to the challenge: you have yet peaks and skies to conquer.

And, truth be told, even the mountains will crumble some day... and eons into the unknown, skies will disappear as well. ~ Imp Erma Nance

Thanks, for that cheerful thought, Imp. lol Can't take things too seriously, we just have to make our life matter to the best of our abilities.
